Display table inside a post

[Aussie Bob]

Calling all you VB masters. :D

I'm trying to display a table inside a VB post. So display this (http://dotable.com/table_test.htm), inside an actual thread. No matter what I do, nothing seems to work. I've tried searching VB's forum for this, but nothing there either. :pullhair:

Is it possible to display a table inside a VB post? Not sure if VB can render the html code, that creates the table, and display that table inside the VB post. :iunno:

TIA. :)

Kind of got it to work. I forgot I had to enable HTML in the perms for that forum catagory. :D

Still, the table is all messed up and not being displayed at the top of the page. :pullhair:

Nearly cracked it. Just have to find a way to have the table displayed at the top of the page. There's this white space above the table, that I didn't put there. :think:

does vb have an option to enable HTML for specific users (mods, admins)? that might be better than making a whole section HTML-capable.

Not sure about that. :S

If I can't get tables to display properly, accross most browsers, I'll just do without them. Would be nice to use tables inside posts, and opens up a lot of possibilities for what I want to do. :think:

You can try putting valign="top" in the <table...> bit. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes no difference :iunno:

Thanks for the suggestion, but no dance. :pullhair:

I know there was a hack...

Blah, I searched all over vB.org but no luck. This is a nice-n-dirty way to do it. Create a new BBcode - name it something stupid. Put everything before the actual text and after the text. Then you should be able to do Both Steve....

Thanks for looking. I'll try that dirty method. Sounds devious. :giggle:

Let us know how it goes :D
